AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEarthquake Aftermath: The National Office of Disaster Services is still tallying damage after a strong 6.4 quake hit Antigua and Barbuda on Saturday morning, with tremors felt across much of the Eastern Caribbean and no local injuries reported. On-the-Ground Checks: District Disaster Coordinators have been deployed to verify reports, and NODS is reaching out to the Antigua and Barbuda Chamber of Commerce to gauge business impacts, while also coordinating with regional territories under Antigua and Barbuda’s responsibility. Regional Context: The UWI Seismic Research Centre initially logged the quake at 6.5 before revising to 6.4, and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported no major tsunami threat. Tourism Shift (Older, but relevant): Separate from the quake coverage, Caribbean tourism is being framed as entering a “new strategic phase,” with Latin American demand and premium travel pushing growth beyond traditional peak periods.
